Are you talking track days or are you actually going to prep this thing for course work? If you are talking track days then whatever.

If you want to go to something like SCCA, I'd consider a Solstice GXP for the cost to performance ratio. They need some set up (which is inexpensive) but they have a really good SCCA record. Corvette's and Solstice GXP's are both class A cars though (I think) so you'd be thrown in with the big boys right away, and some of those guys are really really good.

I'd look for a class C or D car that's been pre-set up for half your budget for a year or 2 then upgrade when you're used to the format. Personally I only autocross though so I'm just going through what I hear at the events.

The SCCA events won't require the commitment Rogue Leader is talking about.
